Abstract excerpt
Extensively drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (XDR-KP) infections cause high mortality and are disseminating globally. Identifying the genetic basis underpinning resistance allows for rapid diagnosis and treatment. XDR isolates sourced from Greece and Brazil, including 19 polymyxin-resistant and five polymyxin-susceptible strains, were subjected to whole genome sequencing. Seventeen of the 19...
